Absence Management

Everyone, at some time during their working lives, will experience ill-health and be absent from the workplace.

If repeated or long term absence is not addressed then there is a danger that in the eyes of employees it becomes “acceptable” not to attend work.

A Company can quickly feel the impact of poor absence management in terms of productivity and morale.

Ask yourself the following:

·        Are your staff engaged and committed to come to work?

·        Do you have an effective absence policy?

·        Is it available to everyone?

·        Is it easily understood?

·        Do you monitor absence levels?

·        Do you have absence triggers?

·        Do you conduct return to work interviews?

These are some of the key points to consider when seeking to reduce absence and support attendance but success depends upon effective education and training of Managers and Associates.

ER Solutions, in conjunction with People Tree Training, can offer practical training packages and HR support that can be tailored to your needs.
